Pritchard leaves Tottenham as Norwich complete £8m move

Date published: Thursday 4th August 2016 1:10

Alex Pritchard has joined Championship side Norwich City on a four-year deal, with Spurs reported to have recouped £8m in transfer fees.

Pritchard struggled to break into Tottenham’s first team under Mauricio Pochettino, making just two Premier League appearances since graduating through the academy, and spent spells on loan at Peterborough, Swindon, Brentford and West Brom.

He excelled at Brentford during the 2014/15 campaign, scoring 12 goals in 47 games as the Bees reached the Championship play-offs.

Pritchard told Norwich’s official website: “I’m ready to come here, fight for my place and hopefully play well.

“I feel I need to go out and prove myself again in football. I’m 23 now so it’s about time I had my own path really.

“I’ve had a full pre-season and with our first game at the weekend I’m looking forward to hopefully bedding myself in quickly.”
